WBA’s preferred target for a permanent striker is Troy Deeney. Sturridge story is rumour although a loan move with option to sign at the end of the season if WBA were able to stay up is a suggested deal. Do we really think that a player of Sturridges background at Liverpool and England would want to join WBA when they will be offloading Jonny the spit Evans as an indicator of their ambition. Good luck with that career move Danny.

NUFC 360 @NUFC360 · 23m Rafa Benitez spoke to Daniel Sturridge in person, but he’s chosen to join West Brom. Sturridge has family in the area and that was part of the reason for his decision. [Northern Echo]

Poor old Penfold, his bluffs are being called and his red herrings are dropping like flies. Needs to come up with a fresh distraction, needs it to last 3 days, probably going to have to start negotiations with someone to make it seem legit, and what if they accept the lowball offer. Goto feel for the poor fella, as he desperatlely tries to get his ‘no signings bonus’ again.

ive resigned to the fact nowts happening again this window, cue the breaking news tomorrow night that our window is over (not that it ever started) so we can concentrate on wednesday game etc etc the usual bile the rotund cum guzzlers PR machine insult us with

Willow Worry not mate. This squad is far worse than the previous two that went down. WE may have to go down even to the third tier before we rise again as we certainly won’t bounce straight back this time. However Man City went down to the third tier and look at them now. We are the new Man City ( waiting to happen). All we need is a rich prince to back it’s 52500 fanatical fans (the best in the land, no sorry the world) It will happen but probably not in my lifetime! NOWT for us under this pathetic Tub o’Lard

Ok Gents and Ladies get ready for Thomas Quapitaza to sign, out and out striker from a club we never heard of but the scouting report from a teacher in who cares what town says he can score goals in the 10th division of some league we never heard of. Yes this is what’s going to happen, we will all be sitting here saying, who the phuck is this. For Legal purposes Thomas Quapitaza is a name I made up, if any persons have this name it is coincidental.

So Rafa now needs to swallow his pride and start using Mitrovic in games especially when we are still looking toothless

Although I would like to see us stick with the team idea that we had against Stoke with Perez and Atsu up with Murphy and Kennedy flanking them it would mean we play less hoofball and have plenty of pace and movement to trouble teams

I agree with Ron Knee on this. Charnley isn’t to blame, he probably could bring the players in if that was what he was asked to do. Simple fact is that is not what he’s paid to do. he’s paid to manage expectations as we bring in only what Ashley says we can… This window it looks like that will be Kenedy and… Well maybe that’s it.

“Interesting that the next 3 after Shelvey and Darlow for MOM are players who seemingly aren’t good enough in Rafa’s eyes. Is it us or him who’s out of step?”

What are you on? We lost 3-0 and you think our MOTM poll matters at all? We need better players it doesn’t matter who Rafa plays our squad is not good enough to win at this level. If we stay up it will be a minor miracle!

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed this week and I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to go over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and hasn't spread over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer - but there are treatments which attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh, North Carolina

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
